In the Past we use an FAS2554 as Backup Storage. With this FAS the synthesized Backup to Tape needs very long time. But the Tape Drive was not the Bottleneck. We Backup to Tape with 80MB/s from the FAS2554.

What we want now is :

- Configuration of the E-Series for the best Backup Performance for Backups from Metrocluster to E-Series over the Backup Server .

- Best Performance for synthetic Operations initiated from Veeam on the E-Series .

- Best Backup Speed for Backup to Tapes.

Thanks for Suggestions about the Configuration of the E-Series. Or is our Solution with 4 Pools with four Volumes per Pool the best Solution ?
